Syntax:
Array_Deque.peek()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameter.

Initial ArrayDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]

Final ArrayDeque: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]
Program 2:
Output:
Initial ArrayDeque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
The element at head is: 10
Final ArrayDeque: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
Program 3: For an empty deque:
